True life is lived when tiny changes occur - Leo Tolstoy

                                                                                                            Be the Change!

Things would get better if only there were a little change in everything. Constantly we are staring in the face of change every moment. Dating back to where our ancestors started, to the new age kids we love change. There’s been a tremendous change and the word “change” itself seems too small to describe it.

What would it say, if the mighty dinosaur were to look at the planet now? Hmm… Perhaps….” Thank God, I am extinct or else I would have to mind my tail not to crash into these concrete structures”.

In the name of change, many things have brought us joy, yet some have brought us unseen pain.

The growing-up years showcased so many changes that I still wonder as to how I got into the habit of the changed environment.

The postal service, the telegram, the parcel everything just changed in a wink. The prized possession of the sophisticated telephones changed to just bring in the mobile phones. This evolution of communication has been one of the most noticeable technological advancements in our lives.

When we were kids we used to share so many ideas with our friends, right from saying, “Know what one button you should be able to press and get food, one button should be able to transport us around” Well if we look today we have our delivery system of food and transport. This impact of technology has revolutionized our daily lives.

When our parents would want us to run errands to bring things from the shop or fetch milk from a store, we would complain saying that wish we had a button to press and the item would appear how many ever times we wanted. And lo, every mom’s dear kids like Zepto and Blink It were born.

Amazing changes have happened even in the field of medicine and surgery. The long hours of certain procedures or surgeries have been replaced with few seconds. Wow!. This seems great. Medical advancements have made previously lengthy procedures almost instantaneous.

Speaking of change, even the climate and weather have showed their change over the passing years. Summers can be turned into a rainy weather, winter can have torrential rains or can be warm like a summer day. The change is termed as “global warming”.

The way of ruling has changed from the Kings it has now come to democracy. Every day something new gets added and the old gets faded.

In the unknown world of Change:

Well while all the changes are taking place, here are some changes which seem strange in spite of the fact that you are still growing with it. Vocabulary is one of them, this could be very challenging if you are not up to date with the new lingo.

The young gen addresses everyone as “BRO” irrespective of gender. While this is in trend, we have the slightly older gen addressing others as “dude” and pushing a little more back we have “da”, “ra” and more. This modern vocabulary changes reflect how language evolution is continuous and dynamic.

While words are fancy, some words are pretty confusing as well. In the recent times the word “psych” means fantastic or great but in the earlier times this was referred to a person who was irritable in nature.

Also, there are words like “Slay Girl”, this doesn’t mean the literal way it sounds though. The best part is grammar has taken it a bit easy this time.

How famous are you?

The answer to this question depended on how famous you were and what kind of work you have done and contributed to the society that you would talk about how known you are. With the changing trend, the changed version of being famous depends on the number of followers you have on your social media, the hashtags that you create and, the reels and stories that you make. The influence of social media has drastically altered the concept of fame.

While all these changes are happening, there are certain things that don’t seem to change. The company of best friends, the warmth of the family and loved ones, values and ethics and so on. Even though change makes us feel the difference in the generations, we understand that change is inevitable and most often that’s the way life goes on to complete us. So go ahead and don’t let the “change” hinder you rather, let “change” help you Transform Happily!
